Excellent.  Emacs will eventually take over the world, Eclipse's days
are numbered ;-)

OK, let's put it on the agenda.  We have an evolving Groovy mode, there
is a Grails mode build on it, so having a Gradle mode makes lots of
sense.

Groovy mode is developed with Bazaar, Grails mode with Git.  I'd prefer
to do a Gradle mode with Bazaar but I guess whatever happens has to fit
with the overall infrastructure.

I think we need a record other than email of the problems, this means
starting something new.  Until there is a Gradle mode project and issue
tracker, perhaps put things on the Groovy issue tracker using the "Emacs
mode" component.

I think I'd like Hans to express a view on where this should all happen.

Thanks.
